The first hall was built in 1947 by the Coulter family on
land donated by the Mitchell family at the junction of the
Greenogue and Listullycurran Road when Sunday night meetings
were held. Mr Joe Coulter was concerned for the spiritual
wellbeing of the children in the surrounding area and hence a
Sunday afternoon Bible Club was started. In January 1989 a
Saturday night fellowship meeting started called ‘The Word Bible
Club Class’. The name ‘ W.O.R.D.’ was chosen because the object
is to meet around the Word of God - each letter represents the
following: Witness of Christ which we proclaim; Outreach into
all places which we undertake; Redemption by the blood which we
preach; Disciples which we seek to be. By late 1991 the meeting
had grown to such an extent that the hall could no longer
comfortably accommodate those in attendance. The committee
undertook to build a new and larger hall on land generously
donated by James Moorhead. The work of erecting the building
progressed throughout the summer of 1992 and the new hall, paid
for within three years, was opened with a gospel mission in
September 1992 with Sidney Murray as the evangelist.
